Both the R1T all-electric pickup and the R1S SUV will be fitted with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector starting in 2025, eliminating the need for an adaptor.

Oh, don't get me wrong -- I'm still salty that Tesla refused to use the standard that literally everyone else agreed on. It's maddening, and wasted a lot of time. That doesn't detract from me being glad that they're finally opening up their network (probably to get in on federal money, but... perhaps that's federal money doing what it was supposed to do?). I really, sincerely hope it'll motivate some others join in on making actual infrastructure to compete, but I won't hold my breath.

So yeah, here we are, and ... well, at this point, I just want some #@$(*&S#@ing infrastructure built.
